Our first day in Vienna consisted of not much more than walking to the St. Stephens Cathedral, getting a few necessities at H&M, then Nicole feeling sick. So we headed home, put in a movie and lounged around. When that movie was over, we said "what the heack" and put in another.
At 5:45 we realiyed we were hungry and raced to the supermarket to try to get dinner before it closed at 6. We were successful. After dinner, we watched some Demetri Martin on YouTube and put in yet another movie, then hit the hay. All in all, a very successful day!
Okay, so our first real day in Vienna:
We started with a late breakfast with Jill before she headed back to Germany. (Kelly already left for Salzburg and Mattia was at work).
We saw her off to the U-Bahn (the metro) and headed for the Albertina Museum. Another unbelievable museum where again the modern art was our favorite. It was amazing!
Next stop was the Hofburg where they happened to be holding a design show and today was the last day. Unfortunately it cost a ridiculous sum of money to get in, so we went outside and suclked a little before heading to the Museum Quaters, where there are so many museums one doesn´t know what to do with oneself.
We started at the lomography shop. Which Katie´s brother recently got her into. If you don´t know about it, you should google it-it is very cool photography.
We tried to go to the Modern Art Museum, but it was closed, so we headed to the architecture museum, which was very cool! There were drafting tools over 100 yeras old, and it was set up to give a glimpse of the inside of architecture firms, and there were computers set up with demos of architecture programs like Sketup, Vectorworks, ArchiCad and Allplan. We loved it.
After these museums we headed back to our neck of the woods and grabbed some delicious dinner, then checked our email and tried to find a host in Budapest, then headed home and put on another movie and then another. Katie did a little research on the last few stops on our journey and then we fell asleep.

Okay, I want to know what you're eating, and what these movies were (unless they were porn.)
Nicole, I hope you're feeling better!
My favorite art in Vienna was the Pieter Brueghel paintings...I can't remember where I saw them! He is awesome! (16th century Flemish.)
Wow I just got caught up with all of your posts! That's too funny about watching all those people trying to use that luggage cart, getting a good laugh at someone else's expensive, good stuff >: ) Sounds like you had a great time in Venice, glad to hear that you guys ate something else besides PIZZA. Great description of the train ride through the Austrian countryside, it sounds beautiful there. Have lots of fun in Vienna.
Dancing till 4 in the morning. Nicole not feeling well… Sounds like someone was hung-over?
Enjoy the rest of your trip!
Miss you much.
xxooxx
